    El MIDA, en conjunto con FAO, identificó la necesidad de fortalecer el proceso de diseño y formulación de propuestas de inversión para el sector agropecuario, para lo cual se firmó el TCP/PAN/3502. Este acuerdo de cooperación técnica busca desarrollar capacidades en los planificadores del MIDA, con el fin de lograr el diseño de proyectos sólidos y que permitan alcanzar los resultados previstos. Además, el TCP contempló el fortalecimiento de la guía de preparación de proyectos, incorporando elementos de planificación estratégica y de gestión por resultados. El presente documento desarrolla una versión reforzada de la guía de proyectos. Se fundamenta en la matriz de marco lógico y en la matriz de gestión por resultados o GBR. Se espera que la guía ayude a plantear el problema con claridad, buscar una alternativa óptima y alcanzar los resultados previstos, mediante una asignación correcta y un aprovechamiento eficaz y eficiente de los recursos humanos y materiales disponibles para el desarrollo del proyecto, medidos a través de su desempeño, garantizando así su contribución al cumplimiento de los objetivos. El objetivo general de la guía es generar las competencias necesarias para que los técnicos del MIDA puedan formular proyectos con base en los principios de la planificación estratégica y de la gestión por resultados. De manera específica, se pretende que los lectores puedan: • Aplicar correctamente la metodología de marco lógico. • Establecer indicadores adecuados. • Incorporar la gestión de riesgos. • Implementar la gestión por resultados. • Mejorar la sistematización de información para el monitoreo y seguimiento.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
    Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
    2021
    Also available in:
    In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
